The President Prefers Directions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-So,ne of the Dem
ocratic members of the House committee
on foreign affairs called upon the Presi-
dent this morning to confer in reference
to the Fisheries bill. The President, it IS
understood, expressed hope that Con-
gress, in whatever it does on
the subject, will make its action
clear and definite. SO that the
Executives course may be readily COM
pretended. He does not think the Senate
bill is sufficiently explicit, and prefers d.
rection at the hands Of Congress, rather
than such unlimited optional authority
The committee on foreign affairs Will not
take action on the two bills before it Until
some time next week.

One of our saloon keepers was ar.
raigned in Justice Morgan's Court yes
terday on a charge of selling liquor to a
minor, pleaded guilty to the charge, and
was fined in the sum of $25, which he
paid.
AS the defendant appears to have
been unacquainted with the law on the
subject, and as he claims others have
been guilty of the same practice, the
Court deemed it proper to assess the
lowest penalty provided for in the Act
which provides that "every person who,
without written or verbal order from
parents or guardians, shall sell or give
to another under the age of twenty-one
years. to be by them drank, any intoxi-
eating drink or drinks, is guilty of a
